Yesterday was my last day of the ice season down here, ice is going fast, and will be gone before the end of the week. It was down to less than 4" thick yesterday and the edges were soft. Today the edges were open water 6-8 feet out from the banks.
It was a mediocre season for me, overall. Lots of dinks, nothing I would call a big fish. All the ponds around here are small, and they got absolutely hammered last winter. I've been living here 16 years, and I saw more people out on the ice last year than every other year put together. The crowds were gone this year, but you could definitely tell a toll was taken.
